Ingredients
- 1 pound thick-cut deli turkey or ham

- 1 1/4 cups cranberry sauce
- 1 (12-count) package Hawaiian Dinner Rolls
- 2 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Layer the turkey evenly over the bottom rolls.
- Spread cranberry sauce over the turkey.
- Top with Swiss or Provolone cheese slices.
- Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese layer.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds.
- Brush the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 12 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for another 12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Notes
- Use leftover roasted turkey, ham, or rotisserie chicken instead of deli turkey.
- Swap Swiss or provolone with white cheddar, Havarti, or dairy-free alternatives.
- Use vegan butter and omit cheese for a dairy-free option.
- For a crispier finish, broil the sliders for the last 1–2 minutes of baking (watch closely).
